Brian Jones was also 27 when he died, that being said the hardest line in that song to listen to in but I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday to be holding Bobby's body next to mine. i lost my Wife who was the love of my life 13 years ago and every time i hear that line it chokes me up and the way she sings that line it make's me feel like she knows just what I'm feeling.

I heard Kris say in an interview he doesnā€™t really like Me and Bobby McGee because of his hearing her singing it after she died. It destroyed him the first time he heard her sing it, and every time heā€™s heard it, it brings back that sad emotional reaction he had. I think the interview was with Joe at The Musicianā€™s Hall of Fame and Museum. I have loved that song since it came out when I was a kid. Lately, Iā€™ve realized he referenced books in his songs, and I wonder if ā€œ Salinasā€ is a reference to Steinbeck. It wasnā€™t until I read The Grapes of Wrath that I realized Here Comes That Rainbow Again is a recreation of the diner scene. And in Loving Her Was Easier, he mentions ā€œ As I Lay Dyingā€, a Faulkner novel. PS. I thought it was ā€œ heading for a trainā€. Kris was also offered the position of teaching English literature, and turned it down. I was a nice surprise to see him at Willie Nelsonā€™s 90th birthday in May, 2023, at the age of 84.

He was also an Army Ranger. He left the Army because he wanted to go to Vietnam , but the Army wanted him to teach at West Point. The rest is history. Janis's version is THE BEST !

Great podcast. Great song. Joplin's great voice. Unlike the handsome jocks in high school who mocked her, former high school jock Kristofferson was a sometime lover and good friend.

Wonderful tribute and retrospective of a wonderful and unique talent. Her life is such a sad tale. I loved Janis since her Big Brother days when I was a child. It seemed as soon as I got hooked on her, she was soon gone. A tough pill to swallow and understand as a sixth grader. I love your segments. Really dug your piece on Warren Zevon too.

Jim Dickinson recorded it for Sam The Sam and released it about a month before Janisā€™s came out. After that, nobody wanted to hear theirs! šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹

Janisā€™s song oh lord wonā€™t you buy me a Mercedes Benz is reminiscent of her home town dialing for dollars was a segment on our local news at noon time daily program where the news caster would call a personā€™s house and give away money.

Joplin sang the blues. It was chronicled in American Pue by Don McClean.
